In addition to public transport Melbourne has a great taxi system in place to help you get around.

Safe City Taxi Ranks have been established in the CBD to give patrons and taxi drivers access to safe transport and fares late at night. 

The four Safe City Taxi Ranks are located at:

• 55 King Street;
• 212 King Street;
• Flinders Street Station, on Swanston Street; and  
• 22 Bourke Street.

Each taxi rank is staffed by a uniformed security officer.  Safe City Cameras monitor the ranks during their hours of operation (midnight Friday to 6am Saturday and midnight Saturday to 6am Sunday each weekend of the year and during special events such as the Melbourne Grand Prix weekend and New Year’s Eve).

These taxi ranks are linked to the NightRider Bus Service, which operate during weekends and major events when public transport is not available.
